1. Instructional Decisions/Teaching (InTask Standard # 9): Discuss the implementation process and describe
What went well and what didn't go well during the implementation of your lesson?
- What went well was the whole technology integration. Using the simulation we were able to adapt the worksheet for the students to work on while using the website. What did not go well during the implementation of the lesson was probably the PowerPoint. My peers commented that we could have used more pictures of cause and effect for the students to have some ideas. They also mentioned we could have done an activity for them while we present.
How well was the alignment to objectives and standards maintained?
- The alignment to objective and standard was well maintained. The objective stated what the standard was and mentioned to the students in the beginning, middle, and ending of the lesson.
Describe any modifications made during the implementation of the lesson.
- The modifications we made was the launch. Instead of going straight into the PowerPoint, we first discussed what an organism and ecosystem were on the organizer.
2. Mechanics:What technologies did I use (for the teacher and the learner)?
How were the technologies used (by whom and in what manner)?
My lesson was within the correct time frame
- The lesson was within the correct time frame because we had a lot of discussion as a class where students had to make an organizer and discuss with a partner. We also had a PowerPoint where we asked students questions based on the graphic organizer. Then we introduced them to the simulation and they were able to explore through it and complete the worksheet and at the end they had enough time to complete the assessment.
3. Assessment of Learning (InTask Standard # 6):
Include at least 2 digital artifacts that demonstrate what you or your students (peers) have created as a result of your lesson
Describe your students' level of success in achieving the standards and objectives for your lesson based on your assessment.
- The students level of success achieved the standards and objectives when the students had to use the simulation to complete the worksheet given.
- In the assessment students completed four questions reflecting on what they had learned during the lesson and when they used the simulation.
Describe your students' level of success in achieving the standards and objectives for your lesson based on your assessment.
- The students level of success achieved the standards and objectives when the students had to use the simulation to complete the worksheet given.
- In the assessment students completed four questions reflecting on what they had learned during the lesson and when they used the simulation.
Describe the level of success you had in teaching the lesson
- How do your individual reflections support this? My individual reflections support this by students completing the worksheets at a certain amount of time using technology which was the simulation.
- How do the comments from your classmates support this? My classmates mentioned that the simulation which was called Gizmos was very entertaining and challenging for students. They also enjoyed the website and mentioned it could of also be differentiated for students.
4. What did you learn from designing and teaching this lesson and how will you use this in the creation of future lessons/learning activities.
It seems like you have learned a lot after carrying out this lesson. It is important to learn from feedback and implement changes when trying again. Good job!
